New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Startup acquired by a large company and it sucks. What to do?
104 by lopkeny12ko | 133 comments on Hacker News.
I work at a startup with ~50 employees (and have always worked at startups). Love the work and the people. Recently we were acquired by $LARGE_CORPORATION and the experience has been a living hell for all of us. Things that should take a few days take a few weeks. Things that should take a few weeks take a few quarters. It's slowly driving me insane. The experience is best shared as a story. I'm working on migrating our apps to the parent company's VM launching and deploy platform. Should be fairly straightforward, I think. Unfortunately, the deploy tooling isn't entirely compatible with our app so I ask the team if they can implement $X feature to support our app. The first engineer I talk to doesn't even attempt to answer my question but redirects me to their manager. Ok, that's odd, I think, but whatever. Manager says sure, just fill out this feature request doc. It's a Google Docs template with 4 (!) pages of required documentation to just explain why I want this feature implemented. It asks for my team name, the motivation, why I can't solve the problem some other way, yada yada...ok, I guess it's good to document your work, so sure. I fill it out and submit it. No response after two days. Then I get an automated email that their skip level manager has approved the work. Huh? This is followed by an email that the team's eng manager approved the work. Why do two layers of management need to approve work on something they have no knowledge about? Finally, after many rounds of arguing about why this needs to be done in the first place (ahem: you told us to migrate to your platform, and it literally does not work for our app), they quote us a delivery timeline of end of Q1 in 2022 . At this point I am in absolute shock. This should take no more than a few days to implement. So I reach out to the manager and ask what is going on. This is a simple task, I said. Why does it take an entire quarter for your team to deliver? He doesn't have an answer. I tell him I'm happy to fix the issue myself, if they link me to the relevant codebase. "It shouldn't be too hard to dig in and submit a patch," I think to myself. He says he cannot give me access to the codebase for compliance reasons, and that only members of his team have R/W on that repo. What??? This is insane. And this entire time I was only alllowed to interact with managers and have not spoken to a single engineer about the actual technical details. It is impossible to get anything done here now. Is this how it's like at all large companies? What should I do?

Ask HN: Has anyone lived as a nomadic software developer?
Hello,
This year I took a trip to Europe and really loved it. I got such a thrill from visiting new cities and learning about their culture. I only spent maybe 3 days per city, but I would love to spend more like a few weeks per city/area. I'm wondering with the rise of remote work, is it possible to do this for the medium-term (I'm talking 1 to 1.5 year(s)). Has anyone lived a nomadic lifestyle like this? How did it pan out? What type of work did you do to support yourself?
Cheers!

Launch HN: FlutterFlow (YC W21) – Build Apps Visually
Hey HN! It’s Abel and Alex here to share what we’ve been working on for just over a year: FlutterFlow (https://flutterflow.io). It’s like WebFlow, but for Flutter.
Flutter is an open source framework for building cross platform applications. FlutterFlow combines a UI builder with pre-built templates and Firebase/API integrations, generates clean Flutter code, and allows you to deploy to app stores directly from your browser. This enables extremely fast iteration, from product idea concepts and designs to working Flutter apps. As an example of what’s possible, we built an internal app for playing trivia games by using the jservice.io API and Firebase all in under 2 hours:
Time lapse of building the app: https://youtu.be/Fm4jjpuKM1E
Link to live version of the app: https://app.flutterflow.io/run/ByqwG33rw80qyN39ooNq
Exported source code: https://github.com/FlutterFlow/ff-trivia/tree/flutterflow
Alex and I, along with a friend of ours from Google, quit our jobs in 2019 to work on a cross-platform mobile app that ultimately failed. It was a learning opportunity, and it also led us to feel the pain of the slow iteration process every time we wanted to roll out a new experience. We were able to experiment with various landing pages within hours, but building new screens and app experiences took weeks or even months. For over a year now, we’ve been tirelessly working on fixing this problem.
I first fell in love with coding by pure luck as a kid in Ethiopia. My father, who at the time owned an internet cafe, decided to start taking night classes in CS in the late 90s. Ultimately he didn’t use his degree professionally, but I ended up with learning materials and a compiler, Turbo C++ 3.0. As I grew older, eventually ending up as an engineer at Google, I started to appreciate that as engineers we were often tasked with solving problems even when the solution didn’t necessarily involve writing code. Alex comes from a physics background, doing his undergrad at Stanford, and transitioned to study CS and AI there as well. In 2016 he joined the team I was on, a small ML group within Google Maps. He’ll often admit he had underestimated the amount of skill involved in building beautiful, fast and functional apps. And he certainly didn’t expect to love building with Flutter as much as he does, having been entrenched in ML for most of his career. Yet here we are.
There has recently been a healthy amount of skepticism towards no-code tools, mainly due to concerns of extensibility and scalability. This is definitely the case for some apps - a good example is a tool such as FlutterFlow itself. It would be very difficult to build all of FlutterFlow recursively. We do use it internally for many of our pages, but using a visual builder to implement our code generator seems far fetched. This doesn’t imply however that there isn’t a middle ground that enables fast iteration in a visual builder, coupled with the ability to write code that seamlessly integrates with the overall experience. We’re not quite there yet, but we believe this is the right direction.
Finally, we believe Flutter is going to be the catalyst that drives this movement. It’s composability, the fact that it’s super cross-platform (Android/iOS/Web/Desktop/Embedded), and the vibrant and passionate community it fosters give it a unique advantage. Whether we do it or someone else, the application builder of the future will be built on Flutter. Huge thanks to our users, the Flutter team and the Flutter community.
We’d love for you to give it a try and share your thoughts. What do you think the future of application development is going to be?
p.s. we were on HN when we announced our launch back in May: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27238381 We’ve made a lot of progress since then, enabling app store deployment, payments, ability to add custom code and much more: https://community.flutterflow.io/c/whats-new-in-flutterflow

Ask HN: Best low-level optimization tutorials?
I had found a resource around 4 or so months ago either on here or reddit that was amazing. It took some matrix problem, solved it naively, and then applied different optimizations such as branchless coding, simd, openmp, compiler optimizations, etc. It showed the cumulative effect of each optimization, and I though it was amazing. Unfortunately, I lost the link to this website and cannot find it despite hours of Googling and searching on HN and Reddit directly.
Wondering if anybody here knows resources that were useful for similar or different topics, or might be able to provide a link to what I lost.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Termius (YC W19) – Share your terminal session like Google Docs
8 by rkudiyarov | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hi everybody, I’m Roman from Termius (YC W19, HN launch https://ift.tt/3GMvAdt ). I want to share news about a new exciting feature that we wanted to build for a long time. It’s Terminal Sharing. Terminal Sharing enables engineers to get instant help from their colleagues by providing a link to their terminal output updated in real-time. There is also a mode where the viewer can enter commands from their end. When I was getting into programming, some of my biggest problems were: compilation errors or not being able to set up something on a Linux server. One of the ways to get help in such a case is to ask a friend or colleague who has done it before. One more thing, we all remember times (before the pandemic) when teammates could come to your table and check out where you got stuck and often it’s in a terminal window. Unfortunately,it’s often impossible in the post-COVID era when most of the teams work remotely Of course, there is always a way of using a multiplexor like tmux, byobu or screen. However, it’s a bit annoying because you have to deal with access like adding keys or passwords. Then you have to communicate back and forth to see if the person is there. You also need to remember to start those tools before you end up with an issue. And finally, you need to remember to remove the access later. The whole thing is even harder on Windows with Putty. Alternatively, you can use zoom and screen sharing, but it requires dealing with control over the keyboard input, which is quite cumbersome. This is why we built Terminal Sharing in Termius ( https://ift.tt/30vjMN7 ). If you need help from your friend or colleague, then you can create a live session in just a second. You get a unique link to sharein just two clicks. Terminal Sharing is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux, no mobile support yet. You and the viewers need only to have the free version of Termius to use basic Terminal Sharing features. We like the idea of giving this feature for free to spread the word about the product and build more advanced, paid, collaboration features for teams later. In terms of the technical implementation, Terminal Sharing uses WebRTC under the hood, and it tries to establish a peer-to-peer connection when possible. WebRTC uses TLS 1.2, which encrypts the traffic. Check it out here: https://ift.tt/30vjMN7 . We’re still testing usability and viability of this feature, so any feedback is welcome. The feature is free, but it requires an account (no subscription required!). Please share your feedback in the comments!

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Robust and affordable alternatives to Google Play for app distribution?
8 by m_kos | 0 comments on Hacker News.
TL;DR: I am looking for a platform to distribute my dissertation research data collection Android app to ~50 adult study participants in the US. The most important features are the ability to quickly and reliably deliver app updates over one year, safety, affordability, and good UX (participants are non-technical Android users). I don't want to use Google Play Store. To give you some context, for my dissertation project, I need to collect data using a custom Android research app installed on participants' phones for one year. The app requires a lot of permissions and continuously collects a lot of data. My colleagues discouraged me from using Play Store because Google banned their apps for no good reason and with no recourse, even though their research was approved by research ethics and human subject protections committees (IRB). This jeopardized their federally-funded studies and caused issues with their findings. For this reason, I would like to distribute my app to ~50 adult study participants in the US using a different platform. Four features are especially important to me. First, app updates need to be delivered reliably and relatively quickly over one year. Second, there can be no spyware, excessive tracking, unnecessary notifications, nudges to download other apps, and no annoying ads. Third, affordability is important because I would be paying for the distribution from my personal student savings. Finally, I would prefer a platform with good app update UX for non-technical users, including older adults. So far, I have looked into APK Mirror, but according to their policy [1], > If your app is new, doesn't have a proven track record, and not > unique, it will likely not be approved. I have also tried F-Droid, but at least on my Pixel 2 XL, updates of some apps downloaded from F-Droid often fail to install. Would you have any recommendations on what other platforms I could look into? Thank you. [1]: https://ift.tt/3oQcehl...

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Is there a place on HN for interesting yet flame-war inducing topics?
9 by hn_throwaway_99 | 3 comments on Hacker News.
I ask this (as truly an open question, without knowing the answer) because of 2 recent posts on HN that got flagged, one a thought-provoking article by a Yale student titled "Abolish Yale", and the other about the California proposal to use the recently-novel "citizen deputization" legal techniques pioneered by Texas, but this time to restrict assault weapons. The reason I ask this is because there appear to be a growing collection of topics that are interesting and deserving of debate, but because they are hot-button issues they often devolve into flame wars. I've been on the other side of this as well, where I commented that I flagged a DEI-focused article because, while I thought the topic itself was interesting, it seems comment threads on DEI topics always devolve into uninteresting flame wars, and that I rarely learn something new from these threads. I didn't feel that about the 2 topics today that got flagged - indeed, there were a bunch of comments that let me to going down Wikipedia rabbit holes and I learned a ton, and for both of these topics the first I heard about them was on HN. So my question to the HN community is whether you think there is some way (e.g. feature changes, "sub topics", etc.) to host these topics that seem fundamentally relevant to the HN audience, but which are so difficult to have debate about without getting flooded by low quality comments?

We replaced this with team "among us" games, which was very engaging and everyone enjoyed. Our team grew, and we outgrew among us (more than 15 people on the team now, larger among us games didn't work well) and I'm looking for some larger scale ~15 - 30 person games we can play together. Pretty open to any suggestions here.

Ask HN:Does a startup community like this exist in SF?
I'm looking for a community where a bunch of people are working on their startups after work hours/weekends, almost like a co-working space with a community feel - ideally people in their 20s/30s. Does something like this exist in San Francisco?
